1. CLASSIFICATION OF ANGLES

2. Angles Angles are classified according to their measures. Angles Angles are classified according to their measures.

3. Acute Angles an angle measuring between 0 and 90 degrees

4. Obtuse Angles an angle measuring between 90 and 180 degrees

5. Right Angles an angle measuring exactly 90 degrees.

6. Obtuse Angles an angle measuring between 90 and 180 degrees

7. EXAMPLE 1 Measure and classify angles Use the diagram to find the measure of the indicated angle. Then classify the angle. a. KHJ b. GHK c. LHK d. GHL SOLUTION A protractor has an inner and an outer scale. When you measure an angle, check to see which scale to use.

8. EXAMPLE 2 Measure and classify angles a. HJ is lined up with the 0 on the inner scale of the protractor. HK passes through 55 on the inner scale. So, m KHJ = 55. It is an acute angle. o o b. HG is lined up with the 0 on the outer scale and HK passes through 125 on the outer scale. So, m GHK = 125. It is an obtuse angle. o o c. m LHK = 35. It is an acute angle. d. m GHL= 90. It is a right angle.

10. QUIZ 1. Name all the angles in the diagram at the right. Which angle is a right angle? an acute angle?

11. QUIZ 1. Name all the angles in the diagram at the right. Which angle is a right angle? an acute angle/s? PQR, PQS, RQS. PQS is a right angle..  PQR &  SQR are acute angles. ANSWER
